The look like Enkei's but I don't think they are, slightly different designs.

is that the all steel version or the aluminum version. a company named 'modular wheel design' had made some in the aluminum version for the 4x130 pattern back in the 80s... kind of a poor man's bbs wheel. i've seen them go for 75 bucks a set to 300...

They're Enkeis, from the early 80's and were offered as an optional wheel for the 914 in the after-market. Automobile America put them in their catalog next to the ATS wheels.

They listed for about $180.00 each new, but they've gone out of style along with Sonny Crocket's de-constructed pastel sport coats and ZZ Top.

I have a sweet set myself . . .

Rare and worthless.

Are those the same riveted style of centerlines, just painted black? I was curious what that might look like. Did ya powdercoat them?
